Dear Bruce:
I wanted to write a letter to thank you for the wonderful gift of health you have brought to me and the other residents of Great Falls Health Care Center.
My life has been a struggle, my mother died when I was 13 months old. A father consumed by a drug addiction raised me. I went on to repeat the patterns of desperation and self-destruction.
Having street smarts and intelligence opened the door to a lucrative world of drug trade. I was living a fast life, fur coats, fancy cars and many material pleasures.
After being incarcerated, my health declined dramatically. I slipped into a Coma on July 26, 2003 at the Bergen County Correctional Facility. I woke three weeks later to find I was a quadriplegic, unable to feel or move my limbs. Not being able to even lift a spoon to feed myself I asked for God’s help.
I started reading, something I hadn’t done to often in my life. My first book was the Bible. I proceeded to grab every book in sight, especially those about health and wellness

I was told I would never regain use of my limbs. I mustered the strength to transfer here to Great Falls and with my courage, spiritual beliefs and your Yomenco programming I am making miracles happen.
I have actually been moving my upper body and now the lower body as well. Your exercises in your book have been very helpful. Each day I challenge myself to go further. I especially liked your suggestions about laughing at the absurdity of our life situation. Only God could design such an innovative lesson-plan.
I know someday I will be walking again and I intend to show my gratitude by helping others find their inner strength.

Sincere regards,
Rhonda Gibson

Bruce exercise is what keeps me feeling young. You remind me of Jack Lalanne. I used to attend his classes when he was first starting out. I think you are going to be very successful because your program is perfect for seniors and there plenty of us

I am a retired schoolteacher. I taught in St. Lucia my country of origin. I have always been an independent person and was always caring for everybody else. Then I had a stroke caused by diabetes that put me into a Coma. People were all around me in white. I didn’t know what happened. I have recovered the use of my upper body and can move my feet but am unable to take care of myself. I also suffer from pretty severe arthritis. I love the Yomenco class because it lifts depression and helps me to forget my problems. The meditation is also excellent in that it helps me to relax and clear my mind. I am a very spiritual person, and believe God keeps me strong. I think the hardships make us stronger.

I love the music, it gets me going even though I can’t even do most of the exercises because a lack of feeling in my lower body.
